Movement 06 Judean Teaching Tour |
| The early rains soften the field for the plow. Jesus sends seventy heralds "ahead of him" into Judea and Perea to towns he intended to visit. He moves his home base to Bethany, a Jerusalem suburb, by the invitation of sisters Mary and Martha, and their brother Lazarus. Jesus travels to communities south and east of Jerusalem following the paths of the seventy. Farmers scatter wheat and barley seed and wait for latter rain. |
